To all wir/mn, it may concern.-

Be it known'that l, ALEXANDER Anmssn- WICH, a subject of ihe Czar ofRussia, resid` ing atNo. 5 Fen court, in the city of London,

5 England, have invented certain new and useful Improvem ents inApparatus for Disiilling Petroleum and other Liquids, (for which l lhave applied for a patent in Great Britain,

dated February 9, 1899,'No. 2,957,) of whichro the following is aspecification.

This invention relates tc apparatus for rapidly and economicallydistilling petroleum and other liquids,'as i shall describe, referringto the accompanying drawings.

vzo chamberb, passingthrough flues'c, to the temperature requiredfordistilling the liquid under treatment. Centrally within the cylindera revolves la tubular shaft d, part of which, laterally perforated, as'.at d', is ina chamber e, mounted on the front cylinder-head and havingan inlet-pipe e' anda stuing-box j", through which the .shaft d passes.The liquid t be distilled is forced under pressure through theinlet-pipe either alone or with A the shaftrd, whence it issues .bylateral nozz'les 'g in jets of finely-subdivided spra'yvdi# rectedagainst the heated wallof the cylinder a. The shaft d also carrieshelical Scrapers f h,which scrape the wall, directing the carbonaceousmatter scraped off Vto the rear end of the cylinder, whence it can fromtime 'to time be removed. y l

I prefer toprovide al b ox m for receiving the carbonaceous matter,einige-valves @t and 'p being fixed-above and below 1t. For a time,

the valve n being openy and p being closed, the carbonaceous matterfalls into the hex m. Then the valve n being closed and p being openedthe contents of m are discharged.

The vapors distilled from the liquid thinly distributed over the wall,of the cylinder a are led to a collecting vessel k and pass thence tosuitable condensers, which may be cooled by the liquid that is to bedistilled, the hea-t ofy the vapors being thus in great measureAutilized for heating the liquid feed.

Having thusdescribed the nature of this invention and the best means Iknow of carryin g the same into practical eiect, l claim- 1. Anapparatus for distilling liquid, consisting of a heater, a cylinderheated by the latter, a chamb'er located 'at one end of the cylinder andinto which theliquid is delivered, and a rotary, tubular'shat't havinghelical scrapers and jet-nozzles and extending through, communicatingwith and 'receiving the liquid from said chamber, the liquid enteringthe shaft and issuing from the jet-nozlll.

zles against the inside of the cylinder` sub-4 i stantiallyas'described.

'2l The combination in a liquid-distilling apparatus, of a furnace,acylinder heated thereby; a rotary, hollow shaft having jet- ,nozzlesand .helical blades which scrape the inside of the cylinder, and meansfor introducing the Vliquid into the tubular shaft from whence it issuesfrom the jet-nozzles against I the inside of the cylinder, substantiallyasdescribed.

' In testimony whereofwl have hereuntoA set my hand in presence of twosubscribing wit nesses. v
